Q: On May 4 you replied to rajeev that the stock " may need some time to consolidate."
This concept has been repeated with other questions.
I am not sure what this means and can you clarify.
Thanks

5i Research Answer:

PNG has risen 202% in the past year. Generally, when a small company does so well, there are often profit-takers who will sell, and this can put pressure on the stock. Then, as is often the case (and was with PNG) the company raises money by issuing shares. This can 'sap' short term demand for shares, as investors can get their fill in the equity issue. Then, there are investors who believe it is 'too much too soon' and will sell and move on to a smaller growth company. Further (and again this is the case with PNG) the stock runs in anticipation of contracts, and then can pause while investors wait for these contracts to materialize. Stocks like this often need to 'grow' into their new valuation. All of these factors can be considered consolidation.
